Chapter 177: Vicissitudes of Life

Heavy rain continued for days, and the roads were muddy.

In the heavy rain, two people are chasing for their lives.

Running in front was a stout man dressed in gray cloth, with a bronzed complexion and muscles, revealing his martial arts.

However, at the moment, he is desperately fleeing.

Behind is a scholar.

This scholar is so powerful, he dances a big knife vigorously, and chases the strong man in cloth to the sky and the ground.

The two of them ran all the way through several mountains, and finally ran out of breath and out of breath.

"Khooth!"

The scholar was tired of sticking the big knife on the ground, swaying tiredly, and raised a hand to point at the strong man in front of him.

"Today!"

"I'm going to kill you, a scoundrel who talks nonsense and cheats people out of money!"

"Stop, stop, stop!"

The strong man in cloth raised his head and swallowed the rain directly, and finally said with a sigh of relief, and put his words in a position with the scholar.

Be reasonable, be clear.

"You are a reader!"

"Why are you angry, which book is this reading?"

"Besides, this knife is my thing, how can you, a scholar, rob people of things for nothing?"

The scholar immediately drew the knife and pointed at the strong man in cloth through gritted teeth.

The two of them immediately moved again, circling in circles on both sides of the mountain road.

"You don't know the way, but you pretend to know the way and cheat people out of money. ”

"If you hadn't shown me the way, I would have been chased by the tigers at night, and my followers were so frightened that they turned back to Ruel and fled to me, and then I ran into a landslide on the way to escape and crushed my horse to death, and I lost all my salutes. ”

"If it weren't for you, how would I have ended up in such a mess. ”

"Hahahaha!" Speaking of this, the scholar who was embarrassed in the rain couldn't help but laugh out loud with hatred.

"Fortunately, the way of heaven is good, and I met you again!"

"It's heaven that wants you to die!"

The strong man in cloth took out the money: "I will deceive you of ten copper coins, you are going to kill someone, it's too much!"

"Is there a royal law? Is there a law?"

"And where did you learn this knife technique? Where do you look like a scholar?"

The strong man in cloth has never seen a scholar who dances so smoothly with such a heavy broadsword.

The scholar snorted coldly:

"The six arts of a gentleman, we are all trained in humanities and martial arts. ”

"The horse can determine the country, and the horse can settle the world. ”

"In any way, there is no match for a deceitful like you. ”

"You deceitful and deceived person, when you meet me today, your death is near. ”

The two stood on both sides of the muddy mountain road, finally breathing a sigh of relief.

A chase will be born again.

But suddenly, the rain stopped.

Daylight sets from the sky.

The two of them looked up at the sky.

"The rain has stopped?"

However, they saw a scene that made their pupils dilate instantly.

The dense layers of dark clouds in the sky cracked a crack, and golden light shone down through the gap, turning into a warm glow of the sun and falling on them.

Saw.

Above the golden light and dark clouds, a divine beast with a foot in the flames and flames pulled a divine chariot past.

Break through the layers of dark clouds and tear through the darkness.

The shocking and touching sight made the two of them stand at the same time and look at the sky, their heads moving with the golden light and shadow, until the god-man chariot drove away.

As the dark clouds closed, they disappeared from the sight of the two.

After the chariot of the god-man.

The rain fell again, sprinkled on the two of them, and they came to their senses.

The strong man in cloth pointed to the sky: "Where is this sacred transit? Could it be the gods in the sky?"

The scholar also looked a little flustered: "Either God or holy, how can you and I guess at will." ”

The two were shocked and a little frightened.

In addition, it was not early, and the two chased and fought hard, and they also felt exhausted.

At this moment, I was discouraged, and I had no intention of continuing any longer.

"Forget it, if you don't fight, you won't fight!"

"Don't stay here for long. ”

"Hurry up, hurry up!"

The scholars and charlatans who were originally enemies of life and death left in a hurry.

It was getting dark.

As night fell, the two finally came out of the mountains.

Descending the dark mountain road, they finally saw the view below.

"Come out! Come out!" the strong man in cloth shouted with joy in straw sandals.

"You bastard! this time you finally didn't take the wrong way!" the reader also breathed a sigh of relief.

In the distance is the Boundary River.

"Look, there seems to be a temple over there!" the scholar immediately noticed that there was the outline of a building by the river, which should be a temple, just enough to accommodate two people to rest.

"Don't look at it!

"It's good to have a hot sip on the fire. ”

They were tired and hungry, wet and cold.

If it weren't for all of them, ordinary people would probably not be able to hold it for a long time.

The scholars and the scholars were overjoyed to see this temple and ran towards the temple as fast as they could.

Gradually approaching the river, it was found that this was a Sichuan temple.

Lord Chuan is an ancient water god who has been believed in since ancient times in Weidi, but his faith has gradually declined over the years.

After all, Wei Di continued to implement the Yin God System, and tens of thousands of monsters carved up the Great Wei Divine Dao.

The beliefs and incense of these ancient gods are naturally declining.

Until no one cares about them or even remembers them.

It can be seen that this temple has not been repaired for an unknown amount of time, and it is extremely dilapidated.

However, when the two turned to the temple gate facing the boundary river, they found that the temple was flickering with fire through the temple gate.

It turns out that someone is already here before them.

"There are people in the temple!" He Shijing stopped and wiped his face full of water.

"Squeak!" the strong man in cloth shrank in the night rain, and couldn't help but push open the door and go in first.

The two saw a Taoist sitting under the altar in the temple, with a donkey lying at his feet.

The firewood jumped in front of him, reflecting a face that made both of them feel a little different from the ordinary people, as if the person who walked out of the painting.

"In the next world. ”

"I've seen the Taoist. ”

The scholar immediately saluted and reported his name.

But when he looked up, he found that he was holding a knife in his hand, and he looked like a strong man passing by and robbing, so he immediately hurriedly put it down.

However, the scholar was not willing to return it to the strong man in cloth.

Obviously, although he no longer shouts and kills, he still doesn't trust this person in his heart.

After placing the knife beside him, he gave it up again.

"The two of us are lost in the mountains, and it is raining heavily outside, and we want to go into the temple to take shelter. ”

"The Taoist chief will see if it can be convenient. ”

The Taoist sat cross-legged in front of the fire, without raising his head from beginning to end, as if he was meditating and contemplating.

Its consciousness has been immersed in the cloud realm, and Chixia Yuanjun, Yunjun, and Qinglong Tongzi are collecting the names of many ghosts and gods in the entire Huzhou Shinto system.

The Cloud Realm has been re-divided into a hall for all the rosters of the Shinto system.

Consciousness, though it is on the other side of the world, speaks in the present world.

"Borderlands!"

"You can do whatever you want. ”

The strong man in cloth followed the scholar's side, and said with a river and lake salute: "In the Xia Shizong!"

The two of them were soaking wet, took off their robes, tidied up, and saw the fire in front of the Taoist.

The scholar stepped forward again with some courtesy, bent down and said, "I'm presumptuous!"

"Can you borrow some fire?"

The Taoist said, "Please!"

The two of them finally took advantage of the fire to warm up, dried their coats and clothes, and then felt that they had come back to their senses.

Scholar He Shijing stood up and looked around.

Finally, looking up at the clay sculpture of the Sichuan lord that only half was left on the stage,

He sighed and said, "The years are truly terrible, no matter how powerful and brilliant they are, and they think they are eternal. ”

"In the end, I will be told, but it is just a joke. ”

"Daoist, did you say?"

The Taoist didn't even open his eyes, just smiled.

"How do you know that they were once powerful and brilliant, and that they weren't born just a pile of clay sculptures?"

"If you haven't gone through the ages and seen the sea turn into mulberry fields, how do you know that there is no eternal thing?"

He Shijing originally wanted to show his talent and unusual insight in words.

At this moment, he was speechless.

I felt that the person in front of me was not ordinary, and the words revealed the high and the vicissitudes of eternity, and I didn't dare to speak casually anymore.

Instead, he sat down quietly and asked the questioner carefully what shocked him in what he had just said.

"I also ask the Taoist chief to give advice. ”

"What is the sea turning into a mulberry field. ”

No one in this world has ever heard of this vicissitudes of life, and scholars are even more so.

Shi Zong was also curious, and he was idle and bored at the moment, so he also asked: "Dao Chief, why don't you tell me about the two of us, what happened when this sea turned into a mulberry field?"

"It also gave the two of us a long time to see. ”

The Taoist was silent for a moment, and finally spoke.

As soon as he opened his mouth, it was as if the two of them had been drawn into a long river of years with no end in sight.

The river of the outer boundary is rushing endlessly, and the topic of the moment is particularly reflective.

"The world has been reincarnated by time, and the sea and land have also changed with the ups and downs of the years. ”

"The sea of the old times, the land of the state now. ”

"In ancient times, there was an immortal who descended to the world and had a banquet on earth. ”

"On top of the banquet!"

"Immortal clouds. ”

"Since Dengxian inherited the mandate of heaven, I have seen the sea turn into a mulberry field three times. ”

"And now that the water of the sea is half shallower than in the past, isn't it going to turn into a state land again?"

This story was extremely short, but he Shijing and Shi Zong were so excited that they couldn't help themselves.

He Shijing's eyes became empty and illusory, as if he saw an immortal standing on the sea of clouds in the sky, watching the earth under his feet continue to change, the sea dried up, and turned into state land hills.

Then the earth was once again submerged by the sea, and again turned into the sea.

Back and forth, the years go by.

In a short sentence, the way is to sit and watch the wind and clouds rise high above, and look down on the world.

The vast East China Sea turned into a hilly land, what a long period of time.

And this immortal has already experienced it three times.

None of them thought that this story was false, if it weren't for the immortals who had lived so long.

How can we know that this sea will turn into mulberry fields.

How can we witness the miracle of the sea turning into hills?

"The vicissitudes of life, it turns out that there are really people in the world who have lived for such a long time?" Shi Zong sighed excitedly.

He Shijing shook his head and sighed: "I'm afraid this is the real immortal, thank you for telling this story, let He Shijing see this vicissitudes of life." ”

At night, the Taoist still meditates under the altar.

The flickering fires still illuminated the temple hall and the collapsed idols.

And Na He and Shi couldn't sleep for a long time.

In the last sleep, there is still a sense of the passage of time.

I listened to the sound of the waves of the boundary river in my ears.

Day or night, it still flows indomitably, rolling away from it.

In the middle of the night, a boat came from the depths of the boundary river.

Finally, the ship docked in front of the dilapidated Sichuan Temple.

During the day, it was discovered that the gods were driving the divine car to cross the border, but it was not only He Shijing and Shi Zong.

A figure walked off the boat in the darkness with a lantern, but the rain was so strong that it could not wet a drop of its body.

The man walked respectfully to the temple gate, and then bowed and knelt.

Prostrate.

"The Boundary River Water Demon is coming!"

"Meet the Empty Dust Daojun!"
